EC Scraps Fake Voter IDs After TMC Complaint; Mamata Alleges Vote Cutting
The speaker claims that the TMC has created fake voter IDs and that the Election Commission is not taking action.

Breakdown
The claim that the TMC has created fake voter IDs is not directly supported, but the TMC has indeed raised concerns about fake voter IDs and duplicate voter cards. The Election Commission has taken action by scrapping over 7,000 fake voter cards in Bengal following a complaint from the TMC.
Mamata Banerjee has claimed that her vote was cut and has also accused the BJP of manipulating voter lists with the support of the Election Commission. The assertion that the Election Commission is not taking action is contradicted by the fact that the ECI has annulled fake voter cards and is implementing new software features to identify duplicate entries.
While the TMC has criticized the EC's clarifications as a 'cover-up' and cited contradictions in its rules, the EC has responded and taken steps. The specific text overlay 'Puri File hi rakh lo' is not verifiable from the provided web context. [1][2][3]
